AIDS Healthcare Foundation is a global not for profit organization,
that provides cutting-edge medicine and advocacy to more than 300,000
patients in 33 countries and is headquartered out of Los Angeles,
California. USA.

Since 1987, AHF has cared for thousands of
people living with HIV and AIDS worldwide. As we create and implement
unparalleled programs in new communities globally, we expand delivery of
healthcare and influence over policy with the sole aim of saving more
lives.

Dimensions: Save the Children has been operational in Kenya since the 1950s, providing support to children through developmental and humanitarian relief programmes delivered both directly and through local partners.

In 2012, as part of a global reorganization process, Save the Children combined the programmes of SC UK, SC Canada and SC Finland to create a single operation in Kenya.

In Feb 2013, we completed a second transition, which saw us join forces with the British INGO, Merlin, and merged their Health and Nutrition programmes with our own. Save the Children has an operational presence in Dadaab Refugee Camp, Garissa, Mandera, Bungoma and Turkana.

We work through partners in many other parts of the country. We will have a staff complement of around 400 staff and an operating annual budget of approximately US$30 million.

Save the Children is rolling out a 3 year DFID funded project across four sites in Mandera County.

The project seeks to build the resilience and adaptive capacities of vulnerable households, communities and government systems in Northern Kenya in the face of shocks or stresses.

The project’s key outcome is that communities in northern Kenya will have increased incomes, assets, and skills to sustainably reduce their vulnerability to shocks and stresses by the end of the three year project.

S/he shall work closely with Arid Lands Support Progamme (ASP) team to deliver expected outputs.

Reports to: Programme Manager, Arid Lands Support Programme

The project aims to achieve this outcome through three outputs:

i. Households have improved livestock productivity through access to production system inputs and community assets;

ii. Women and youth from targeted households have received skill and asset building inputs enabling them to sustainably diversify their sources of income;

iii. County government systems for community development are strengthened and supporting community-led initiatives.

To improve the economic inclusion of youth (young men and women) the project conducted a labour market assessment. The assessment identified various skills development (e.g. technical and vocational training) to enable youth access available livelihood opportunities.

Skills development shall be done through the existing Polytechnics (or Vocational Training Centre). This activity will also be informed by the gender mapping and analysis which was undertaken last year.

The aim is to ensure social relations relative to changing livelihood patterns are understood and that a “Do No Harm” approach is adopted, particularly for young women taking up more independent roles in income earning.

Part of the skills training shall seek to enhance uptake of the youth fund in Mandera County as this has been found extremely low.

This output has been delayed in terms of implementation by period of 11 months and was dependant on the Labour market assessment findings.

So as to ensure that this output in on course, the project urgently requires a TVET specialist to come on board in the shortest time possible for a period of 6 months to set up and fast track the project deliverables.

Staff directly reporting to this post: None

Key Areas of Accountability:

Based on findings from labour market assessment, identify and design most appropriate (consider male and female youth) TVET and skills development relevant and matched to available market opportunities in Mandera County. S/he will take forward implementation of recommendations and plans from a recently hired TVET consultant.

Specify and ensure implementation of quality standards in delivery of identified vocational training and skills development to targeted youth.

Identify and specify a range of competency-based vocational training curricula and training methodologies aligned to existing national framework and systems, and to current labour market conditions in the County and nationally.

Provide necessary support to external consultants undertaking specific studies to inform the project, independent review, audit, evaluation of the ASP or facilitators of workshops and specific training of project beneficiaries, County government officials or implementing staff.

Compile and submit progress reports or contribute to the periodic project records, as required.

Undertake other duties as assigned by Programme Manager for the effective and timely achievement of project objectives.
